House Rep. Liz Cheney says that her father former Vice President Dick Cheney is “deeply troubled” by the current state of the Republican Party.

According to The Hill:

“My dad is deeply troubled about where our party is, deeply troubled about where the country is,” Cheney said during an event hosted by the Aspen Institute.

She said her father, who served under former President George W. Bush, has been a “tremendous source of advice and guidance and wisdom for me.”

Former Vice President Cheney is considered one of the most consequential VPs in American history. The Republican played a key role in the decision to send American troops to Iraq after 9/11.

The former vice president, however, was critical of Trump at some points during his administration. He penned an op-ed, along with the nine living former Pentagon chiefs, calling on Trump’s Defense Department to refrain from obstructing the transfer of power for then-President-elect Joe Biden’s administration.

William Perry, who served as secretary of Defense under the Clinton administration, later revealed that Cheney came up with the idea to write the piece.
